Tina (my favorite cuz), Matt, Mya & Ethan -- my heart breaks for you all. As a mom myself, it is a miracle the strength that you have found through all this. I wish I had the pleasure of knowing Haleigh better. She is so beautiful just like her momma :) God needed her for a reason. She definitely left a message for all of us and it is up to us to honor her by learning from her. I love you baby girl. You need anything, I am just a phone call away. ((hugs))

And if I go while you're still here...

Know that I still live on,
Vibrating to a different measure
behind a thin veil you cannot see through.

You will not see me,
so you must have faith.

I wait the time when we can soar together again,
both aware of each other.

Until then, live your life to the fullest.
And when you need me,
just whisper my name in your heart,
....I will be there.

(((((The Family of Haleigh Hernandez))))),
I am so VERY SORRY to read of your wonderful, beautiful young daughter, Haleigh terrible illness and her sudden, sad death. Please accept my deepest condolences and sympathies. I understand what it means to have a beautiful child die. I am so sad to learn that there are more parents suffering the ultimate loss, the death of a son or daughter.
My wife and I are from Connecticut. Our beautiful 11 year old daughter, Danielle Marie died of a massive traumatic head injury suffered in a horrific automobile accident in February 2006 in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Danielle was pronounced dead at the scene. There is no guide, instructions or plan for us to follow after the death of our child, each day is a difficult challenge both emotionally and physically. It is a struggle to make any sense of the life we now have to live.
Please know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Again I am so very sorry.
Take Care & God Bless,

John-Daddy of Angel

March 20, 2008

Haleigh Marie, my first born, my heart, my soul, my world, my LIFE. You have made me who I am today. You have made me strong, and you have made me appreciate the little things in life. Seeing your beautiful face every day for 12 wonderful years you blessed me with the greatest gift a mother could have, and that is a daughter. You are so humble and so precious, and my heart is now and forever broken now that you are gone. I know that you will always be with me, and I know now that you are my Guardian Angel, but I can't say that I am ok with that. I cry everyday and will for a long time. You truly are an angel, Haleigh Marie, and mommy will ALWAYS ALWAYS and FOREVER love you, and I will talk to you everyday and I will be waiting for you to come visit me and tell me that you are ok, and are happy and at peace now. You are with God now, and I know that he took you from me because he felt you were needed more with Him, and HE had more important things to do in Heavan, and I have to say that he couldn't have choosen someone more right than you, Haleigh. Someone so pure and so special as you must have bigger, and better plans with God, and although I no longer have you here, your spirit will forever live on with all of us! I miss you and love you babygirl

LOVE ALWAYS,
